Snap!
Sproglet has broken the washing line! Now, if it was me that had broken it Mr W would have grumpily said: "What did you do that for"? but for Sproglet it was: "Never mind, I'll get it sorted". When he put the washing line up, many moons ago, Sproglet and yours truly were summoned for the great unveiling and subsequent demonstration.
I looked at the pulley and the rope and attempted to speak. I was told to 'Shut up'! Not to be undone I tried again but was told to keep quiet once more. He proudly grabbed the rope and pulled the line high into the air. It was a tremendous height and a very smart addition to the garden.
"What do you think of that"? he asked beaming proudly.
"Marvellous! Um . . . Now try pulling it down again", I told him. He was so pleased with putting the clothes line in place that he'd only attached one end of the rope.
"Why didn't you say anything" he snarled.
"Because you told me to shut up" I replied sweetly.
At that moment Sproglet and her mother thought it best to beat a hasty retreat back to the house!
